Hi all

A friend is producing a new kids magazine (aimed at 7-14 y/o) and are running an article on Initial D. As part of this, they want to show photos of 'real-life' versions of the cars.

If anyone has hi-res (300dpi is needed for print so the bigger the better) photos that they own and would like to have them appear in the mag - please send me the pic. If it is not your car, you need to have the owner's permission to use it.

They aren't able to offer much incentive to supply pictures (ie: needs to be done out of the goodness of your heart) - but the photographer will be credited and the SAU site will cop a plug. I will supply a copy of the magazine to people too.

They would also like some info on the cars themselves - mods, features etc

I need:

Toyota AE86 Trueno (panda - white/black two tone)

Mazda FD RX-7 (yellow)

Mazda FC RX-7 (white)

Honda EG Civic hatch (red)

Nissan R32 Skyline GTR (black)

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo4 (white)

the hard one

Nissan S13 Sileighty (blue)

Colours are not super-critical - I can always alter them in Photoshop.

And... I need them by the end of the week.

Thanks very much in advance. Email me with any questions.

Cheers

James

I know someone with a panda trueno, and also someone with a blue sil80 although it has a gt wing and chromies, so doesnt exactly fit the profile of impact blue.

Will have a talk to them and see what can be done :(

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
